Escargot is the very worst begonia a novice could ever buy. The absolute worst. Why it is marketed so heavily is beyond me. The vendor/grower should have all kinds of warnings and advice posted in large letters on this begonia.

Try a rhizomatous begonia next time (non-rex) and you should have better luck. There are many rexes that are a lot easier than Escargot too.

Here is one that is fairly easy - 'Art Hodes' and it gets big if you let it.
